*Sigh*
This is one of Starr’s pictures from last Saturday’s 5k, she took it before they set up, before people started arriving to help and check-in. I have picked out some fun ones to share, but thought this one deserved a post of it’s own.
This is a picture of the tree that was planted at the high school in Sunny’s memory. I’ve posted about the tree a couple of times in the past: Spring Blossoms and You Never Know When. I see the tree several times a week and never once pass it without thinking about Sunny, about her family, without feeling pain. I may not say it in every post, but I miss her…all day, every day.
The tree has a plaque at it’s base with Sunny’s name on it. It matches her headstone. It breaks my heart.
wonderful picture… and though of course that tree can make someone sad… at least she’ll NEVER EVER be forgotten…
It’s true. I love that her spirit is being carried on in so many beautiful and meaningful ways!
Kelly, I can feel how much you miss her… every day…
What a beautiful memorial they made for Sunny. She obviously touched the lives of so many.
Tears! Thank you!
Very nice picture and a touching memorial.
Thank you, it is nice, and I love that it is at school because she loved being an active member of the school. She radiated high school spirit!
The tree is lovely. I know what you mean by “Sigh.”
Thank you, Jenn. I know that I can’t always avoid the subject, but I am going to try to focus on the positive, for the most part, from now on. Starr reminded me last night that no matter what I say or do NOTHING will change this reality. Being sad won’t fix it. Ever.
We need to embrace life, and do it now!
Beautiful tree. Sunny seems to have been a person who would have wanted you to remember her with a smile on your face, and not tears of sadness.
Ugh…I’m so sorry.
